Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Transferring Hope

Hope Diamond is worth two hundred millions.
Donated to Smithsonian by one worth billions.
This forty-five carat gem was sent to them by regular mail.
They were lucky the 1958 postal service did not fail.

L Milton Hankins October 31, 2021 at 11:51 AM wow, I did not know this, Caren. I'm so careful mailing in a payment for something. I would have thought it would have been hand-delivered and they would have received a certificate or something. Caren Krutsinger November 1, 2021 at 8:51 AM I know but - no. They popped it into a box and mailed it without a receipt.
